Yesterday, at the St. Petersburg Chamber of Commerce, Republican Party chairman Mel Martinez confirmed that, sometimes, the GOP just doesn't understand. Sen. Martinez scolded Republican presidential candidates Giuliani and Romney for taking a tough stance on illegal immigration and opposing the President's immigration reform. The St. Petersburg Times reported.
"Presidential contests are about leadership. ... It's about leading on the tough issues," Martinez told the St. Petersburg Area Chamber of Commerce. "It was easy to say, 'This wasn't good enough, this isn't right, I don't agree with Martinez.' ... But at the end of the day what is your answer? How would you solve this?"
Well the first step is to deport illegal immigrants, put the national guard back on the border, and toughen penalties against employers. And do not grant illegal aliens amnesty.
Isn't it simple logic, that if you increase some thing's desirability that more people will want it? Well how about offering citizenship in the greatest country in the world to the people of a corrupt third-world country? That's a pretty big incentive. And it will only increase the number of immigrants who seek to cross the border illegally.
Why doesn't the Republican Party get it? When tens of thousands of people called their senators to oppose the immigration bill, didn't that send a clear message? When GOP donations dropped off by almost 40 percent, didn't that send a clear message? The American people do not want amnesty, and they don't want illegal immigration. What ever happened to politicians representing the people?
Well, thankfully, most of the Republican Senators did represent America, and voted down the bill. Yet, Sen. Martinez still finds reason to criticize.

They understand, the bill was ludicrous, wrong, and American Citizens want our borders secure. You don't understand, we have immigration laws that need to be followed for our country security and well being of its legal citizens.
Government function is to protect its citizens. Sue sanctuary cities if you are harmed in any way by an ILLEGAL, because of restrictions placed on police to verify legal status. Sue the employer (who exploited for profit)for aiding, abetting, luring them across the border. Its time the stewards of our government tell and demand they protect our families first and stop pursuing amnesty. It will only quadruple the problem we have now.
Stop the MAGNETS!
Stop ILLEGAL Sanctuary Cities!
Stop patronizing businesses that hire ILLEGALS!
If harmed by a ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT SUE every agency and business involved, for your pain and suffering!!!!!
Let's hope that more policy makers will get it. "Take the food away from the picnic blanket and the ants will go away." The illegals are just as smart as the ants...AK
